Inspired by British Colonial aesthetics, Normanby's interior is imbued with sophistication and modern sensibility.
Our clients were open to an unexpected contrast of colours, tone and pattern and the result is a series of spaces that delight and surprise. From bold wall coverings and luxurious upholstery to graphic tiling and striking floor coverings, the overall impact is one of texture and richness. A dramatic Catherine Martin wallpaper was the hero in the dining space which was complemented with a solid dining table and cane chairs, reinforcing the colonial theme. Arte textured wallpaper, with its subtle shimmer yet masculine feel, set the palette and tone for the master bedroom. Practicality and durability were also paramount in this project, taking into consideration the needs of the clients' young child, who was also involved in both the functional and aesthetic decision-making process.

About the
Professional
Jacque Yates has forged an interior design career deeply influenced by her own lived experiences and dedication to crafting meaningful and functional environments for her clients.
Colour has always been a fundamental focal point for Jacque, an area in which she possesses innate flair for creating intentional and unexpected clashes of hue, texture and pattern.
With an early career in the field of calligraphy and ceramics, Jacque developed an early passion for form and detail. During a 7 year stint in New York, she immersed herself in an intense period of study at the world renowned Parsons School of Design and The New School, ultimately shifting her creative focus to interior decorating and design. Inspired by the dynamic use of colour in her own New York home, Jacque’s friends began to commission her to re-imagine their own residences.
There is an undeniable resonance in the studio’s work that combines Jacque’s innate desire to connect with her clients, to infuse their homes with narrative and soul and to have fun in the process.
Propelled by her early success in New York, Jacque embarked on the significant renovation of her own Queen Anne home upon her return to Sydney and later another home in Melbourne; garnering significant experience in all aspects of the design and construction process. After completing multiple diplomas at International School of Colour & Design (ISCD), Jacque founded Three Little Pigs Colour & Design in 2005.
She is also an ardent supporter of Australian designers and suppliers, a priority that is evident in all aspects of her work. Having recently added a Certificate IV in Kitchen and Bathroom Design to her academic résumé, Jacque is also armed with comprehensive, technical know-how. As a result, her portfolio of work transcends mere trends, ensuring that each project is as practical as it is visually alluring.
